Directed by Irwin Allen

Scientist Dr. Bradford Crane and army general Thalius Slater join forces to fight an almost invisible enemy threatening America; killer bees that have deadly venom and attack without reason. Disaster movie-master Irwin Allen's film contains spectacular special effects, including a train crash caused by the eponymous swarm.

Why it matters

A swarm of African killer bees descends on a small American town, and an entomologist must find a way to stop them before they spread across the country.
